The Mitten

Nicki drops his white mitten in the snow, without realizing it, and woodland animals find it and crawl in one by one.

Jan Brett creates a dramatic and beautiful picture book in her distinctive style, bringing animals to life with warmth and humor. Her illustrations are full of visual delights and details faithful to the Ukrainian tradition from which the story comes.

Recommended for age 1 to 3.
